He was awarded the orders of Lenin, the Red Banner, 2 orders of the Patriotic War of the 1st degree, the orders of the Red Star, Glory 1st, 2nd and 3rd degrees, medals ...

But the legend was ...

His combat path began on a Kursk arc. After the end of the Tambov military school of pilots, he arrived at the front of 1943 to the front in the 140th Guards Assault Aviation Regiment. The first combat departure of the young pilot made on July 5, and on the 22nd - August 14 - his enemy fighters were shot down. In the unconscious state, Drachenko was captured.
Scary days survived Ivan Grigorievich in the fascist camp in Poltava. Beatings, torture were commonplace. The pilot dismissed the face, knocked the tooth, he finally lost his right eye damaged in battle ...

Our army continued the offensive, and the Nazis were in a hurry to get out of Poltava. In the September night, the prisoners were immersed in indoor cars and were lucky to the West. Everyone understood that this is the last path. Drachenko and another pilot on the road strangled the conversion sitting in the body. Five people managed to jump on the go.
A few days later, Ivan Dracheko met in the transfer with our intelligence. Then there was a hospital in Moscow. He was treated. Instead of the right eye inserted a glass prosthesis. Externally, it was difficult to notice. The patient for a long time gained Professor Kollov and eventually "knocked" his certificate of such content: "Junior Lieutenant Dracheko I.G. He sent to his part for further service. "

This document again opened the way the road into the sky, and he immediately went to his part.
Returning to the regiment, Drachenko admitted in his ailment only to two friends.
From the memories of the hero of the Soviet Union N.N. Kimka:
"Dracheko opened my secret in the first conversation." I promised to keep her and help each other every way. We were at first such such, for example, tactics, not all understandable. When Drachenko sat down, I went to the landing "T" and conducted by landing. Some wondered, other understandingly sympathized with: a person, they say, only from the hospital, the littleness was forgotten by piloting technique. And then he became with us the best airborne intelligence. He knew the whole front. And the attack aircraft was excellent. The most difficult tasks sent his regiment commander.

He knew the secret of Drachenko and another one-sex - Nikolai Pushnin.
"Fly to you, Ivan, will be very difficult," said the pilot. - If you find out the arrows, it is unlikely to agree to fly with you.
That conversation accidentally heard Arkady Cyriletz. And not only agreed, and literally thus stated to take him to the crew. Fifty battle departures made Dracheko with him on IL-2. Of course, it was difficult without an eye. In Flight, Dracheko often opened the lamp.
Comrades warned: "Do not fly without armor", they advised not to brave. But then it was not in courage: he had better seen with an open lantern.

The most memorable combat departure Dracheko considers the one for which the first Order of Glory received.
... The case was in the summer of 1944. Two "Ila" received an order to divide the defense of the enemy under Yassami. Ours prepared a big offensive, and air intelligence data were extremely necessary. One attack aircraft told Ivan Dracheko, the other - Kostya Kruglov. Scouts photographed defensive frontiers and roads in the Yass area, Hushi and Roman. Then they took a course to the north, along the West Bank of the River Seryet on Tergul Frosmos. There was a "iba" with enemy fighters.

Twelve "Messerschmittov" fell on us, "Darycheko told me. - In the hot battle, the Kyrille and I knocked out two, but also "Il" Kruglov was shot down. I had to leave. The river fell to the shaving flight. And "Messiers" did not lag behind. Recruited the church in the village of Egorovka. Jumped to her and went around the bell tower to make the devices. Here we left enemy cruise. I barely reached my airfield. Technicians counted several hundred scratches in the plane. But, fortunately, the camera turned out to be integer: the intelligence task was fulfilled.

The second Order of Fame Junior Lieutenant Drachenko received in September for the courage, manifested during the destruction of the enemy railway train. And in October 1944, he was awarded the third Order of Glory - this is already for 55 new combat departures. [But this Order of Glory was, as well as the previous one, is the second degree. Only after 24 years, November 26, 1968, he will be redirected to the Order of the Glory of the first degree, and will become a complete cavalier.]

One day the attack aircraft received an order to destroy the headquarters of the Tank Corps of the Nazis. The group "Ilov" met a strong anti-aircraft fire. In this flight, Dracheko had a special task - he had to deceive the enemy - "burn and fall." Above the headquarters, the smoke checker hidden in the bombus was activated and began to smoothly "fall" to the ground. Zenitchiki, putting a cross on him, moved fire to other cars. And at that moment Drachenko turned rapidly and struck with erases and guns along a staff building. Other attack aircraft added. Only ruins remained from the headquarters.

In October 1944, the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR 12 Assa of the 2nd Air Army was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union. Among them was the junior lieutenant Ivan Grigorievich Drachenko.
As stated in a premium document - this is a reward for 100 combat departures for exploration, the destruction of the living strength and technician of the enemy, for participating in 14 air battles, which he committed to August 1944.

So fought with the enemy the pilot, who returned to the combat system.
- When did your mystery revealed? I asked him.
"It happened in 1945 at the KP Regiment," answered Ivan Grigorievich. I began to wipe the right eye with a scarf, and he turned over 180 degrees with a pupil. Someone shouted: "Brothers, Ivan crazy!" The guys saw a white stain under the right eyebrow. But everything ended well. In the Sunchast, I admitted in my defense. I was learning a strict check. After returning Colonel Volodin rose to me into the air, checked the piloting technique and tactics. Over the flight watched the commander of the building General Ryazanov. When they landed, the general told the regiment commander: "Well, if all the pilots flew so much. Let be fighting to victory. "

So it turned out. He made the last departures to Berlin and Prague.
From the archive document:
"For two years of war, Dracheko made 178 combat departures on the aircraft" IL-2 ", personally hit five opponent aircraft and nine burned at the airfields, destroyed dozens of enemy tanks and armored vehicles, a lot of other techniques and the living force of the enemy."
So he was, Ivan Grigorievich Drachenko, man and warrior ...

History of the creation of the Order

Initially, the soldier's order was supposed to be called the name of Bagration. 26 sketches were developed by a group of nine artists. A. V. Chrulev selected 4 of them and presented to Stalin on October 2, 1943. It was envisaged that the Order would have four degrees and rush on a black and yellow ribbon - smoke and flame colors. N. I. Moskalev offered Georgievskaya tape. Stalin approved the ribbon and decided that the Order would have three degrees as the Order of Suvorov and Kutuzov. Having said that victory is not without fame, he suggested calling the reward to the Order of Fame. The new sketch of the Order was approved on October 23, 1943.

Full Cavalier of Glory Orden

The first cavaliers of the Glory of Glory II in the Red Army were soldiers of the 665th separate sapper battalion of the 385th rifle division. Starshin M. A. Mostov, Krasnoarmeytsy S. I. Baranov and A. G. Vlasov (Order No. 634 for the troops 10th Army dated December 10, 1943).

In the postwar years, work was carried out on bringing the statute of the Order of the rewarding of the Order of the Order of the Order of the Order and the Overgrace (replacement of one sign on the other, the following degree). No special documents for full cavaliers of the Order of Glory at that time did not exist. Only the Order of the General Samplebook was awarded awarded, and it lists all three degrees of the Order and other awards (if any). However, in and 1975, additional benefits were introduced to complete cavaliers of the Order of Glory, which equalized them with the heroes of the Soviet Union. In particular, the right to appoint them personal pensions of allied importance, major housing benefits, the right of free travel, etc. The consequence of this was the appearance of a special document in 1976 for full cavaliers of the Order - the Order of the Horde Awarded the Glory of Trete degrees. The first such books were discharged in February 1976 by military commissariats at the place of residence awarded.

The current legislation of the Russian Federation confirms the full cavaliers of the Glory orders all the right and benefits provided to the Soviet period.

On the same day, the Order of Victory and the Order of Fame were established. The latter was awarded ordinary soldiers, Sergeant and Starinsky composition, as well as the younger lieutenants of the Air Force. The Great Patriotic War has already existed orders and the USSR medals, which are called the names of the famous Russian commander. Therefore, the Order of Glory wanted to be called in honor of the war hero 1812 - Bagration, who became famous for his courage and heroism among ordinary soldiers.

How was the Order of Glory?

In August 1943, a group of nine artists submitted 25 different sketches of the future Order for consideration by the Commission. The selected four options were shown to Stalin. Joseph Vissarionovich chose the project of the artist N. Moskalev, on which against the background of a five-pointed star was depicted by the contour of Field Marshal Bagration.

At the very beginning it was planned that the award would contain four degrees. However, Stalin decided that the Order would contain three degrees, like others. And he must be called the Order of Fame, because there is no victory without courage and glorious feats.
The final version of the award was approved in the same 43rd year in autumn. The Order was created in the form of a five-pointed star with a painter of an Spasskaya tower, which is framed by a wreath. Below on the red field was placed the inscription "Glory".

These soldiers' awards were similar to their statute. The St. George Cross was handed over to the lower ranks for the valor on the battlefield. In the Statute of the Order of Glory said: "The Order of Glory is awarded the individuals of the ordinary and sergeant composition of the Red Army, and in aviation and persons who have the title of younger lieutenant, who showed the glorious feats of courage, courage and fearlessness in battles for the Soviet Motherland. The tradition has been preserved and in the manufacture of three degrees of the Order of Glory. If the George crosses of the first and second degree were gold, and the third and fourth silver, then the first degree glory Order is golden, the second is silver with a golden middle, the third is silver.
In the course of combat operations, according to the Statute, the Order of the Warry Warriors could be awarded - infantry and air arrows, tankers and scouts, artilleryrs and sappers, pilots and sanitary instructors. The right to awarding the Order of Glory of the third degree was provided by the commander of divisions and buildings. Thanks to this distinguished fighter, they could have a combat award literally on the day of the making day.
In less than two years of the Great Patriotic War, about 980 thousand soldiers were awarded the Order of the Fame of Fame, almost 46 thousand - the Order of the Fame of the Second Degree. The first full cavaliers of the Order of Fame July 22, 1944 were the Efreitor Mitrofan Trofimovich Pitenin and Senior Sergeant Konstantin Kirillovich Shevchenko. 2631 The warrior was marked by the Order of the Glory of Three degrees for tact exploits, and the pilot of the assault aviation regiment Ivan Grigorievich Drachenko, the Marine Pavel Christforovich Dubinda and Artilleryrs Nikolai Ivanovich Kuznetsov, Andrei Vasilyevich Aleshin during the war of the war of the Hero of the Soviet Union.
